Esri and NXN partner for smart cities

The two companies will focus their combined efforts on clients in the Middle East and Africa

Esri has joined forces with NXN, a smart city consulting and digital service provider, to deliver geospatially enabled smart and digital services in real estate and government in the Middle East and Africa.

According to the partners, communities across the Middle East are adopting the smart city innovation of connecting people with data that matters to them and presenting it in a highly visual context.

By embedding Esri technology, including the ArcGIS platform, NXN’s smart city services can now meet its customers’ needs for greater transparency and cost-effectiveness in operations by presenting data in a geographic context.

NXN provides expert strategy and results in the development of smart cities to clients including Smart Dubai, Aldar, and Dubai Silicon Oasis. The collaboration between Esri and NXN will provide additional Esri 2D and 3D solutions and consulting services to NXN clients.

“We are very excited to be working with NXN,” said Jack Dangermond, founder and president, Esri. “The goal of fostering smart communities has always been important to us, and this alliance is helping to expose more people around the world to the innovations that spatial analytics can bring to governments by enabling data-driven decision-making.”

Esri said its software is deployed in more than 350,000 organisations including the world’s largest cities, most national governments, 75 per cent of Fortune 500 companies and more than 7,000 colleges and universities.

NXN claims it is the trusted advisor and digital service provider to some of the most forward-thinking governments and enterprises worldwide.
